How to Submit Patches to the libseccomp Project
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp-golang
|
|
|
|
This document is intended to act as a guide to help you contribute to the
|
|
libseccomp project. It is not perfect, and there will always be exceptions
|
|
to the rules described here, but by following the instructions below you
|
|
should have a much easier time getting your work merged with the upstream
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
* Test Your Code
|
|
|
|
There are two possible tests you can run to verify your code. The first test
|
|
is used to check the formatting and coding style of your changes, you can run
|
|
the test with the following command:
|
|
|
|
# make check-syntax
|
|
|
|
... if there are any problems with your changes a diff/patch will be shown
|
|
which indicates the problems and how to fix them.
|
|
|
|
The second possible test is used to ensure the sanity of your code changes
|
|
and to test these changes against the included tests. You can run the test
|
|
with the following command:
|
|
|
|
# make check
|
|
|
|
... if there are any faults or errors they will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
* Generate the Patch(es)
|
|
|
|
Depending on how you decided to work with the libseccomp code base and what
|
|
tools you are using there are different ways to generate your patch(es).
|
|
However, regardless of what tools you use, you should always generate your
|
|
patches using the "unified" diff/patch format and the patches should always
|
|
apply to the libseccomp source tree using the following command from the top
|
|
directory of the libseccomp sources:
|
|
|
|
# patch -p1 < changes.patch
|
|
|
|
If you are not using git, stacked git (stgit), or some other tool which can
|
|
generate patch files for you automatically, you may find the following command
|
|
helpful in generating patches, where "libseccomp.orig/" is the unmodified
|
|
source code directory and "libseccomp/" is the source code directory with your
|
|
changes:
|
|
|
|
# diff -purN libseccomp-golang.orig/ libseccomp-golang/
|
|
|
|
When in doubt please generate your patch and try applying it to an unmodified
|
|
copy of the libseccomp sources; if it fails for you, it will fail for the rest
|
|
of us.
|
|
|
|
* Explain Your Work
|
|
|
|
At the top of every patch you should include a description of the problem you
|
|
are trying to solve, how you solved it, and why you chose the solution you
|
|
implemented. If you are submitting a bug fix, it is also incredibly helpful
|
|
if you can describe/include a reproducer for the problem in the description as
|
|
well as instructions on how to test for the bug and verify that it has been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Sign Your Work
|
|
|
|
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the patch description, which
|
|
certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an
|
|
open-source patch. The "Developer's Certificate of Origin" pledge is taken
|
|
from the Linux Kernel and the rules are pretty simple:
|
|
|
|
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
|
|
|
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
|
|
|
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
|
|
have the right to submit it under the open source license
|
|
indicated in the file; or
|
|
|
|
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
|
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
|
|
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
|
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
|
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
|
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
|
in the file; or
|
|
|
|
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
|
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
|
|
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
|
|
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
|
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
|
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
|
|
|
|
... then you just add a line to the bottom of your patch description, with
|
|
your real name, saying:
|
|
|
|
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
|
|
|
|
* Email Your Patch(es)
|
|
|
|
Finally, you will need to email your patches to the mailing list so they can
|
|
be reviewed and potentially merged into the main libseccomp-golang repository.
|
|
When sending patches to the mailing list it is important to send your email in
|
|
text form, no HTML mail please, and ensure that your email client does not
|
|
mangle your patches. It should be possible to save your raw email to disk and
|
|
apply it directly to the libseccomp source code; if that fails then you likely
|
|
have a problem with your email client. When in doubt try a test first by
|
|
sending yourself an email with your patch and attempting to apply the emailed
|
|
patch to the libseccomp-golang repository; if it fails for you, it will fail
|
|
for the rest of us trying to test your patch and include it in the main
|
|
libseccomp-golang repository.
